retitle 541688 groff-base: want Unicode box drawing characters in groff_char(7)
tag 541688 + patch upstream
forwarded 541688 https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62296
thanks

I recommend closing this 12 year-old bug.

1. If it wants to add groff special character identifiers of the form
   "U2500" to the predefined groff glyph list, it's "wontfix".
2. If it wants to document glyphs that are not accessible via a groff
   special character identifier _apart_ from those selecting Unicode
   character by code point, it's "wontfix".
3. If it is addressing deficiencies in the erstwhile page-local `C2`
   macro used by the groff_char(7) page, it is invalid, and has been
   since since 2012.

I don't think it would benefit Debian any to deviate from upstream
practice as regards points 1 and 2.

Further details are available at the forwarded-to- URL.

Regards,
Branden
